First let’s establish a few things, The first car can travel 300 miles with 20 gallons of gas, if 14 gallons of gas costs 49.49 then for ever gallon of gas Sam is paying 3 dollars and 53.5 cents. That means for 20 gallons, Sam will need around 71$ for the entire trip if he uses the first car.

I have some questions regarding combinations in finite. Here is my first one I am stumped on:
podryga [215]

We will get the number of possible selections, and then subtract the number less than 25 cents.

We can choose the number of dimes 5 ways 0,1,2,3 or 4.
We can choose the number of nickels 4 ways 0,1,2 or 3.
We can choose the number of quarters 3 ways 0,1, or 2.

That's 5*4*3  = 60 selections 

Now we must subtract from the 60 the number of selections of coins that are less than 25 cents. These will involve only dimes and nickels. 

To get a selection of coin worth less than 25 cents:
If we use no dimes, we can use 0,1,2  on all 3 nickels.
That's 4 selections less than 25 cents. (that includes the choice of No coins at all in the 60, which we must subtract).

If we use exactly 1 dime , we can use 0,1,2, or all 3 nickels.
That's the 3 combinations less than 25 cents.

And there is 1 other selection less than 25 cents, 2 dimes and no nickels. 

So that's 4+3+1 = 8 selections which we must subtract from the 60.
 
Answer 60-8 = 52 selections of coins worth 25 cents or more.

Can 11 , 27, 9 and 6 whats the number closest to 24 it can make?
Marysya12 [62]
<span>Understand that: • the sum of two positive numbers is greater than either number. Understand that addition is the inverse of subtraction (addition reverses subtraction and vice versa) and use this to check results. Respond rapidly to oral or written questions, explaining the strategy used. For example: • 654 add 50… Add 68 to 74… • 7 add 12 add 9… Add 15, 6, 4, 15 and 1… • What is the sum/total of 26 and 39? And of 13, 62 and 3? • How many altogether are 121 and 35? And 61, 37 and 6? • Increase 48 by 22. • Which three numbers could have a total of 103? Are there any others?</span>
